Yet, no one is stopping by to take a look. Or at least you haven’t seen sign that your “numbers” have gone up! So, what do you do?

Try “forums!”

Find one or more of the forums in your niche or one that interests you, and sign up/register to participate, “introduce yourself,” and then follow along with the various threads/topics.

After you “get the lay of the land,” you can begin to respond to some of the posts. This way, you’ll show you know your stuff about the various topics.

Of course, you’ll do best by keeping your posts on a “helping others” track as opposed to looking for a way to sell your wares to anyone there who reads your posts.

Also, one of the really neat things about the “forum” is that usually you can put information about your Web site or your blog into your signature line. And that link is but a click away to taking anyone reading your post to your Web site where the reader can learn more about you.

This helps you to “kill two birds with one stone;” you get traffic, and your traffic can see you really know what you’re talking about.

You would do it like this:

Say you want to create a product to help dog owners train their dogs. You can start by finding someone who will interview you, preferably someone who has experience conducting teleseminars or interviews.

During the interview you will be asked questions about training dogs, how to train them, what to feed them, exercise tips, etc. You simply answer these questions and provide other useful information to dog owners during the interview.

Once you’re finished with the interview, you can have it transcribed. And now you have an audio interview with a transcript, which you can package and sell as a product!

Not bad for just sitting and talking!

Now, if you want, you can go a step further and throw in a few bonuses like a special “dog training exercise” report or “how to keep your dog fit and healthy” report. The idea here is to add a few other high value items to increase bulk and then also the value of your product.

Even better, another great way to use audio for your information product is to conduct a teleseminar. It’s quite similar to the interview, except there will be other attendees present, and then you usually allow time for a Question and Answer session (Q&A) at the end of the call.

During the course of the call you answer questions and provide tips and information. You’re the expert and will be sharing your valuable expert knowledge with your audience. And once your teleseminar is finished, you can also transcribe and package the call, along with your audio, as an information product.

You’ll quickly find that it’s pretty easy to incorporate audio either in the form of an interview or a teleseminar, into your Internet Marketing habits. It’s also a very effective way to produce and to quickly get information products out to your audience within a fairly short period of time.

And in doing so, you have decided to use Twitter. But now you’re “dressed up with an account” and “don’t know where to go” or how to begin.

So you stare blankly at your Twitter page.

What should you tweet about?

You have 140 characters to work with, and while that seems easy, it can prove more difficult to come up with a post of value in 140 characters or less. You want to draw your audience in, but the question then becomes how.

What should you share with your followers? Just what is it your audience, your followers want to see?

Well, for starters, they want great conversation. So give them a statement worth wanting to reply to.

Your audience wants to get to know you–the person behind the tweets. So give them the opportunity to get to know you–your personality–as well as your company and your services.

They want links to great sites, or videos or information. If you find these things relevant and useful, chances are someone else will appreciate your resource as well.

Your followers will want a tweet worthy of sharing with their own followers.

Whether that comes in the form of a particularly humorous quip or a great article you have read, give them something they can retweet.

And in the process, while you want to engage your followers, they will want to engage you, as well.

Don’t be afraid to jump in and get involved yourself. Join in on the conversations, thank a fellow Twitterer for sharing a resource that you found helpful.

And don’t hesitate to retweet their posts, either.

Don’t ask anything of your audience that you are not willing to give yourself. If you are afraid to take your social networking to the next level, don’t expect that others will find you approachable and worthy of their time and effort.

Give them what they want and you will find that what you get in return will be invaluable to you and your business.
